"From post to thicket
Hops the ******* blithe, sedate;
Who, with meekly folded wing,
Comes to sun himself and sing." (2)
"The ***** and the ******** piping loud,
Filled all the blossoming orchards with their glee. (3-4)
The ******** chirped, as if they still were proud
Their race in Holy Writ should mentioned be, (5)
And hungry ***** assembled in a crowd,
Clamored their piteous prayers incessantly." (6)
"The noisy ******** twitter 'neath the eaves." (7)
"The ********* beats his throbbing drum: (8)
The ********** pecks and flits: (9)
The ****** flashes by." (10)
"The *** red-breast
Peeps o'er her nest
In the midst of the crab-blossoms blushing." (11)
"From morn to morn a merry ******
Sings hymns to sunrise." (12)
"Yonder gaudy ******* harshly cries,
As red and gold flash all the eastern skies." (13)
